      Doubt it. If you’ve been constantly screamed at to see enemies everywhere for long enough, sooner or later you start seeing enemies everywhere.

        That describes America perfectly, and both can be true. People who knew him have voiced concerns for his mental health and that it was a complete surprise to them. Coming up with hypothetical reasons to ignore that information seems to venture in to less likely territory.

        When crimes are politically convenient people always want to discount mental health as a factor, and on the other hand will acknowledge a mental health crisis and the politics around that.
